    I don't understand this order? :confused:

    Trinity isn't the 'best' for everything you know :rolleyes:. The reason I want to do the UCD one is because it has exactly all of the things I want to do, while the Trinity one has a lot of stuff I don't wanna do. Talking to people from both courses, the unanimous opinion seems to be to go for UCD CS over Trinity, and that's from both sides :)

    I forgot to put the make of my calculator on the front of my script!! Will they not mark it now?! Also for paper 2 in English the Macbeth character question I said Macbeth's relationship with Banquo was a power struggle but his relationship with LM was not! Did anyone else say this?

    On the calculator: I doubt they even care.
    Macbeth: As long as you backed it up properly you'll be grand. There's no right answer in English :)

    Thank you so much <3 I just freaked out so much I ate an entire Easter egg while hysterically crying. Do you think I should call the SEC just in case?

    Calm down :)

    Lots of people forget to write their calculator model, I don't think they even check to be honest. I didn't write mine for JC so I remembered yesterday, plus my superviser was a maths teacher so he told everyone to write it down. Otherwise, most people in my class wouldn't have even thought about writing it down.

    I suppose you could if you just wanted to check it out, there are many people in your position.

    Thank you both so much! :) I just really need to do well in maths for the course I want!

    Ok I called the SEC and they recommend that when you write your calculator number down for paper 2 you make a note saying "This is the same calculator used as in paper 1", this way the examiner can refer back to your paper 1! :) ahhhh I'm so relieved!! I thought I'd have paper 1 cancelled and then I wouldn't get my course and then I'd just curl up in a ball and then never move again! Thank y'all!!

    Just tell the superintendent about it before Paper 2 on Monday. I doubt they'll even care.

    Are they not corrected by two different examiners?

    I didn't write down my calculator either. I actually made a point of looking for the space to write it at the start of the exam on the front page, but I didn't see any space. Only afterwards did I realise that the space was on the second page.(Which is pretty stupid if you ask me. It makes it much easier to miss)

    But anyway, I don't think it matters, especially if you write it on paper 2. You have to remember that the examiners aren't robots who will give you zero on an exam for not writing down a bit of minor information. From what I've seen a lot of people didn't write down their calculator anyway.

    I looked for it on the front page too, didn't find it and thought you didn't have to write it any more. I only saw the space to write it on the second page while doing the first question.

    Apparently not! I thought so too! The lady was like, of course you should've written it in but it's not much of a problem, just write a note! To sum up they were like "lol chill" - probably are all laughing about it up in Athlone :L

    YAY!! Not the only one!! :p I feel so much better! It was such a nice paper too (besides Q2 a which I just couldn't get :L )
    Wish you all luck in paper 2!!

    Nah sure there's no point in going to Trinity because "it's the best" if it's really bad for the course you're doing :P
